Instruments & Sensors |
|
- Mixing—sets the temperature and salinity structure of the ocean and the distribution of chemical species
- Circulation—from small estuaries to entire ocean basins, circulation is critical in a variety of processes
- Biogeochemistry—mixing and circulation help regulate ocean productivity and ecosystems
- Instruments—technology plays a critical role in oceanographic research
